If I just did the first two steps I had just an empty entry in Calibre, that's non fine.
Note that in step 2 I meant "I moved the pdf file from /somewhere/ to the folder where Calibre stored the old file in the file system".
I agree that there is a safer solution, but my problem was that I updated the pdf file and Calibre didn't recognize the change (namely, the file size was untouched).
That's why I simply though to erase and re-add it to the library, assuming that the metadata are extracted once when the file were added to the database.
I never suspected that add a file format would overwrite the old one: I'm maybe ultra-safe, but I'd create a secondary copy of it.
That said, I get it, thanks!
bye!
